The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hmph, I don't need your help at all."

However, the green algae head tied to the stake does not seem to appreciate it.

"As long as I live for a month, they will let me go.—As long as I abide by the agreement..."

Tread Tread,

However, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted Sauron's words. At some point, a teenager wearing glasses and combing his middle part ran over the wall. The panting appearance indicated that he had arrived at the fastest speed, but:

"What are you doing here?"

Roman asked knowingly, but Kebi, who was supporting his knee, didn't bother to answer Roman, but looked anxiously at Sauron who was tied up.

"you were tricked!"

?

"They have no intention of letting you go!"

"The second generation ancestor said it himself, and he will execute you tomorrow—"

Speaking of Zoro who was surprised, the boy named Keby lowered his head sadly, not letting the tears be seen by the two people present, but the crying voice all expressed the agitation in his heart:

"Luffy and I both know...you are not a bad person, you were arrested just because you protected the people in the town and killed the wolf raised by the second ancestor..."

"Domineering, oppressing civilians, telling lies..."

"Such a navy, such a navy..."

Um?

clang--!

The sailor knife in Roman's hand stretched to the side like lightning, and stopped in front of Keby! The ear-piercing impact frightened the 'blackened' Kebi so much that tears and snot froze on his face.

"F... Happened..."

puff,

With a slight shake, a deformed buckshot slipped from Roman's sailor knife and fell to the ground.

"Obviously, we were attacked."

The reason why "we" is used is because Roman doesn't believe that someone can accurately aim a flintlock gun at someone tens of meters away from the roof of the naval base. ——The greater probability is that the opponent just fired a random shot at this place. As for who was hit?

Then see who is unlucky.

"Hmph, get out if you don't want to die..."

Sauron, who was tied up, began to drive people away with a bad tone.

boom--

At the same time, a statue slowly erected on the roof of the naval base. Then:

Suddenly tilted.

"The statue is about to fall~~"

"The statue is falling~~"

"The statue has fallen~~"

In the voice of the three people, the statue that had just been erected hit the roof and broke in two! Then the upper body:

Snapped!

A 'human head' fell to the side of the square and fell into pieces of rubble. as well as:

"Ahhh~~~"

"what have you been doing!!!"

"Kill him, kill him for me—"

Even tens of meters away, the three people in the square could hear the horror and panic, gunshots and roars on the roof of the opposite base! It looks like it should be:

"Hey, that guy is too stupid!"

"In less than half a minute, it was discovered by the navy?"

Sauron, who had been tied up and starved for nine days, felt his blood pressure soar, and even gave birth to a force out of thin air! --That's it? That's it?

He boasted that he would help him get the knife back, but when he turned around, he was discovered by the navy!

In an instant, the entire naval base was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed.

All kinds of sounds are in chaos!

In the square, facing the motionless Roman, the man named Sauron couldn't help but speak.

"Pirate, don't you want to help?"

"Your captain is going to be shot indiscriminately."

Although there are countless strong people in this world, this is the 'weakest' Donghai after all. According to Sauron's current cognition: if a person is killed, he will die.

Not to mention bullets, even if you accidentally fall, you may die!

"Ha, Luffy wouldn't die in a place like this."

Roman waved his hand easily,

"Instead of worrying about others, worry about yourself."

Tread Tat Tat! !

Amidst the dense footsteps, a group of naval soldiers ran out of the base building. The muzzle of the black hole in his hand pointed to the three Romans in the square.

"Put your hands up--"

"who are you?"

"Intruder, shoot!"

Bang bang bang!

Amidst a series of gunshots, howling lead bullets flew towards Roman—and Keby next to him. Who made the two of them stand in the middle of the square with big thorns?

"Paper Dance - Shield!"

clatter——

A large amount of paper spewed out from the palm, instantly forming a huge 'tower shield' in front of him! While intercepting all the lead bullets in the ping-pong-pong, he also protected Keby beside him.

"It's fun..."

A tall, burly man wearing a captain's cloak, an iron band on his chin, and a huge ax in his right hand strode out from among the naval soldiers.

Colonel Monka.

The 'master' of this naval base.

"A few mice, just want to challenge my majesty?"

"Your insignificant strength, in front of my power—"

As he waved his hand, the muzzles of the surrounding navy's black holes aimed at the three of them—this time, by the way, Sauron who was tied to the stake was also included!

"Hey, hey, why even me..."

"preparation!"

However, the other side didn't want to listen to Sauron's nonsense at all, and all the soldiers were just skillfully loading, aiming, and preparing to launch.

Me, how could I die in such a place?

I still have a promise to fulfill!

"That pirate, share your shield with me—"

At a critical moment, even this steel-like man, who had been starving for nine days under the scorching sun, had no choice but to lower his head and ask for help from Roman next to him. Unfortunately:

"I reject!"

?

"Don't get me wrong, it's not me who wants to pull you into the boat, Luffy."

Roman tilted his head and glanced at the desperate Sauron, his face was expressionless, but something flashed in his slightly raised eyes.

"I have no reason to save you——I'm a pirate."

! !

Am I going to die here?

It was clearly agreed——

The best swordsman in the world...

Guina,

—————

under the moonlight,

The double-knife boy and the single-knife girl fought swords, and the result of the battle was:

2001 times, failed!

‘Damn it, I’m so unwilling. '

Knocked to the ground, the green-haired boy looked unwilling.

'Why can't I beat you, Guina? '

‘It’s me who is not reconciled! '

However, the girl who defeated him was even more unwilling! He even hugged his knees and cried, ‘Didn’t you notice that it takes me longer and longer to defeat you. '

'As they grow up, boys' physical advantages will become more obvious. My father said, - girls cannot become the number one swordsman in the world...'

‘It’s despicable to say something like that after you win! '

Facing the crying girl, the boy with short green hair and double knives was furious, 'Could it be that you will use this as an excuse when you lose to me on that day? '

'I can always regard you as a goal, and exercise every day in order to surpass you, I will not allow you to say such depressing words! '

The boy with two swords stood in front of the weeping girl and made a promise.

'Let's compete! '

'The 2002nd match, - one day, you or me. '

'I will become the number one swordsman in the world! '

'Let's see who is the winner this time! '

'Fool,'

The girl wiped away her tears, cried and laughed.

'Obviously he's just a defeated general...'

'Okay, I made a deal with you—'

However the next day,

died.

The boy's "enemy of life" died so quietly. The girl just fell down the stairs while going to get the whetstone, and she just said:

‘Master, can you give me Kuina’s sword? '

The expressionless boy took the girl's knife and tied three weapons around his waist.

We agreed that one day:

I will take you to become the world's number one swordsman! !

———————

how is this possible!

How could I die in such a place! !

Guina, my...

our promise,

Countless lead bullets are reflected in the pupils! Even Sauron's well-trained body was but flesh and blood. Under such an attack...

Could it be—

brush!

In a blink of an eye, a figure stood in front of Sauron! It was a figure wearing a straw hat, wearing a red waistcoat, and holding his own three katana swords in his hands.

Puff puff puff! ! !

The dense lead bullets all hit him, making Sauron who had just passed the 'revolving lantern' behind him dumbfounded.

"you--"

"Woo big wood big wood big!!" (Useless)

However, before Zoro could perform the "sad" scene, Luffy, who was helping him block the bullet, suddenly stretched his body, and the lead bullets that were "sunken" into his body immediately went back the same way! The navy soldiers who fired the guns were shot and turned off their backs.

"Hey hey hey~~"

"You... who the hell are you..."

Facing the shocked Zoro, Luffy turned his head and smiled confidently.

"I'm Luffy,"

"He's the man who's going to be the Pirate King!"

Then he handed the three knives in his hand to Sauron, "I don't know which one is yours, so I brought them all."

"Three are mine."

call,

Sauron, who had walked on the line of life and death, let out a sigh of relief. Some things seemed to be less important, while some things became more precious.

"Heh, it's better than dying here..."

"Being a pirate with you—"

brush brush,

A flash of knife light flashed, and all the ropes binding Sauron were snapped! Roman, who was holding a knife, smiled slightly.

"I'm Roman,"

"Tokevic-Roman."

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to support Sauron who was suddenly untied and almost fell to the ground.

"Then, please take care of me in the future."

"partner."
